Celtic defender attempts to shed light on his absence.
Celtic defender Marvin Compper has spoken out about his situation in a rare interview.
The centre-back told German newspaper BILD that he considers himself fit, and claims neither he or his teammates understand why he isn’t playing.
Compper has not started a game for Celtic this season despite their early defensive troubles.
His spell at Celtic has been nothing short of disastrous since signing in January.
Compper arrived with a recent spell of injuries behind him and got injured in an early training session for the club.
Signed along with the hapless Jack Hendry in January, Compper’s addition has been a failure from the club’s recruitment team.
Celtic face his former club this week RB Leipzig in the Europa League, leading to his interview in Germany.
Fans have had a mixed reaction to his comments, which included a claim that he rejected the chance to leave in the summer in order to fight for his place.
Some have criticised the reporting of his quotes, with the Daily Record describing it as an ‘astonishing rant’.
Here is a look at the reaction to Compper’s comments…
